The University of Ottawa and its Senate, from the eyes of students

The Association of Professors of the University of Ottawa (the “Union”) has appealed Arbitrator Foisy’s decision to uphold the dismissal of former Professor of Physics Denis Rancourt. The appeal takes the form of an application for judicial review to the Divisional Court of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice.

As a preliminary matter, the University moved to strike out the Union’s affidavit submitted with its application for judicial review. The motion was heard today before Justice Robert Scott at the Ottawa Courthouse on Elgin St.
